Book Description

February 14, 2006

Anne Bonney: My Pirate Story follows the volatile youth of an illegitimate child, misbegotten aristocrat, rebellious daughter, hot-tempered teen, and cutthroat pirate who pines for seafaring adventures, true love, and the lasting bonds of friendship.

From her early days of enduring the abuses and cruelties from her blue-blooded classmates, Anne’s prodigal tale leads her through the primitive corridors of the human spirit and explores the perspective of “declaring war on the entire world.” Slip into the pirate-infested Caribbean waters of the 1700s and read the daunting story, inspired from historical accounts, of Anne Bonney, a pirate who disguised herself as a man and fought side-by-side with a notorious band of rogues that plundered ships around the Spanish Main. Author Jeffrey S. Williams provides insight into the intricacies of her relationships with the people closest to her—her mother and father, her guardian angel, Edward, her friend Mary and her husband James—and the important roles each of these people played in her life.

Rife with intrigue, poignancy, and humor, Anne Bonney: My Pirate Story is a vivid examination of a young woman’s odyssey from youth to adulthood as she seeks meaning and peace, eventually finding grace amid the darkest night of her searching soul.

5.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing..., February 24, 2006
This review is from: Anne Bonney: My Pirate Story (Paperback)
I found this account of Anne Bonney very true to the known facts about her even though it is a fiction piece. I enjoyed the style of writing very much and her story held me from the start of it to the finish. This book made me a true fan of Anne Bonney and the people in her life--truly intricate relationships. Thank you for finally writing this kind of book about a pirate. I finally have an adult book about pirates in my book collection. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best!!!, February 22, 2006
This review is from: Anne Bonney: My Pirate Story (Paperback)
The BEST work, by far, that I have read about Anne Bonney (Mary Reade, Calico Jack and James Bonney). A MUST read even if you are not that interested in pirates. There is so much more to this book than just their pirate lives. Williams not only take you to different places, but plunges the depths of love and friendships. I so wish I had an "Edward" in my life! You have to read the book to know what I'm talking about! R

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth every penny, May 9, 2006
This review is from: Anne Bonney: My Pirate Story (Paperback)
I took an interest in Anne Bonny last year and happened to stumble upon this page during my online research. I was extremely excited when I got this book in the mail and tore into the package to begin reading with my expectations quite high. Its been a week and I have finished the book as of this morning. WOW! This book indeed pushed way past every expectation I had. The writer wrote with such captivation and depth that I found myself really caring for Bonny, Reade and Rackham. I finished the last chapter with tears in my eyes which is a huge first for me after reading so many books. I have fallen in love with the story of Anne Bonny and have been starting to search for other Anne Bonny books to indulge in. I HIGHLY recommend this book for it is a great read!
